We have lived which seems so long but in reality so short. Cousin I will miss you terribly! Life and becoming adults changed our bond but our love never altered. We were raised together and lately all I can remember is our times in Shreveport for the summer and the pool in front of your mothers apartment. I miss you already knowing you won't be at Thanksgiving or Christmas. We will hold on tight to your children as they are your legacy. I can't lie and say, I knew this was coming like Aunt Sam and Aunt Paula. Their deaths hit me hard but I was able to brace myself, with you I didn't see it, know it, expected it and will never make peace with it. I'm older by 3 years it should not have been you before me. Tomorrow we bury our baby cousin and it doesn't sit right with me but I am not God nor do I understand our fathers plans. Until we encounter each other again in heaven, know that you were loved and are still loved. My baby cousin Ashanti McCoy ❤️
